Vientiane to Nakasong Destination Reviews
MG
Maria GWe traveled by sleeping bus + mini van from Vientiane to Nakasong and Don Khong.
The Sleeping Bus in Vientiane left on time at 8pm. The bus was a bit run down, the ride sometimes bumpy and the bed quite small, but overall everything was fine. If you are traveling as a couple, 1 bed (= 2 tickets) is ok, otherwise it is better to book 1 bed per person alone (= 2 tickets). There were 2 blankets and 2 pillows in the bed. There were staff on the bus who made sure that everyone got off at the right place. There was free water and a refreshing towel for everyone.
When we arrived in Pakse in the morning, the minivan was already ready to leave and set off straight away. After a few stops, we drove to Nakasong. There is a short distance to the harbor, where you can buy a ticket for the trip to Don Det (20,000 kip) and Don Khong (30,000 kip) (as of December 2023).
We can recommend the trip with Green Paradise.
